The hot dogs are out of my house. Something about the way Mike Tomlin emphasized how we don’t want to know what’s in them forced me to chuck them … maybe forever.

My mornings in the small village of San Antonio Tlayacapan, Mexico, are filled with birds. There’s the soft cooing of doves, the chirping of kiskadees, and the iconic shrieking of roosters, which begins not at sunrise (go figure) but hours before. It’s a far cry from Mazatlán, the city on Mexico’s Pacific coast where I spent 18 years before moving inland. While there’s so much I love about Mazatlán, the harsh reality is that the laid-back, mid-size beach town I’d moved to in 2006 is gone. Mazatlán has become a bustling resort city filled with tourists all year round. The once-quiet beaches…

OAKLAND — Juan Soto didn’t feel great.When he woke up Friday morning, his left knee was stiff, swollen and achy. The night prior, he slammed it into the wall making a sliding catch at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, and with just nine games left in the season and a month until his hotly anticipated free agency, he was worried something might be very wrong.Turned out, he wasn’t just OK. He was en route to delivering another signature moment in his first and — avert your eyes, New York Yankees fans — perhaps only season in pinstripes.Soto battled through soreness in…
